Welcome to Altona Youth Club Calisthenics

Calisthenics is a unique Australian sport that involves a team of pupils learning routines choreographed to music and presenting those routines at competitions. Pupils learn approximately six routines concurrently throughout a year and this is where the diversity of the sport is seen. Calisthenics is both a sport and an art – it encourages physical development, coordination, self-discipline and team spirit.

Altona Calisthenics was first established in 1967 with 17 pupils under the direction of Mrs. Joan Craggs OAM. It has continued to grow and is now a very successful club. Read more about our club »
